Amanda again

Amanda and Grandpa checking out bugs on the deck!
Doesn't she look like she understands everything that Grandpa is saying to her? She pays such close attention when you talk to her, it's like she's taking in everything you have to say about something.

so this is one of my really quick and simple pages, and i do alot of them!! I think the photo printing guys know me by name. I really should get one of those photo printers so I can just print them here at home as I need them! I tend to go and get a few done at a time. I have so many older photos to scrapbook, doing this way makes it less overwhelming to me. I have a few hundred photos on my computer but they aren't cluttering up my scraproom or looking for places to rest while I scrapbook the newer pics instead of catching up with my old ones. I admire you Julie, you are starting to do that. I keep up with our trips usually but other than that, I have fallen way far behind. I started scrapbooks for my 2 daughters years ago but I haven't really kept going with them either. I am probably the queen of procrastination when it comes to really big projects like that. And also, because I started them when I first started this hobby, I don't really like the pages that I did. Well, I am never totally satisfied with any of my pages but I am learning to just get it done, for the memories, not the artwork. I must go and get a few things done around here so that I can play this evening, DH isn't at home so I have the entire evening to myself and my scraproom. See ya.

some of my pages

Okay, here are some of the pages I have done with some of the many photos I have taken of my cutie pie. Don't ask me what company the paper is from, I know some of it is basic gray, some of it is from my stash, and alot of it is in the kits that I get from Scrapdango, an online kit company that I signed up for(like I need more paper!!) sigh. Sometimes I don't know what I'm thinking!!! The last page is a scraplift from Leica Forrest. And I think the middle one is a sketch that I saw on pagemaps. I don't usually scrap 1 photo to a page but I only had alittle bit of time yesterday so I took pics of these pages first. I will try and get some more done this week.

about the last post

Okay, I haven't quite got the hang of adding pictures yet. My comments didn't match up with the right photos, but I will learn! Just go with it for now. We had a great walk, I got some really nice pictures. Someday I will have a better camera to take pictures with, I am saving up for it and almost have enough money for the one I want! Have a great weekend everybody.

autumn walk

This is Amanda, she was excited to be going for a walk.

I decided that it was time to go for a walk along the riverbank yesterday and convinced my daughter and granddaughter to go with me. We started at the new riverlanding behind Persephone theatre and walked to the 25th street bridge and back. It was beautiful.

Starting something new for me

I never thought that I would start a blog, I am quite content to lurk in cyberspace and read everyone else's but a blogging friend said I should do this as yet another way to brag about my sweetheart of a granddaughter! Oh ya, and to show off some of the scrapbook pages I have made about her! So here you go Julie, I am officially blogging now!!! We will see where this goes.
